I have worked out some data for Nosler BT�s 150grs with Norma 204 and wonder if I can use the same data for Partition 150grs?

Another Q: Is Norma MRP to slow for .280Rem in 22"bbl?

One of very few swedish .280Rem fan.

Some personally thinking "If there not was so many 6.5x55 rifle in Sweden before the huntinglaws was writen should that caliber be unlegal for Class 1, big game (ex,. moose and bear)hunting i Sweden.
Some goverment laws stinks!

Not necessarily though it will probably be close. The Vihtavuori manual is the only one I have that shows data for the same powder and different conventional jacketed bullets separately, but the 2-3 grain differences in max loads indicate that there can be some differences.

In my .270, I found the other day that switching to a different lot of 150 Hornady SPs was equivalent to a 1 gr. reduction in the charge. So, whenever you change anything, got to work up.

No, RE 22 is not too slow for your 280 - I use it in the 7X57mm Mauser with 175 grain bullets, but it is approaching being too slow for the 7X57. My 7X57 RP cases will only hold 54 grains of RE22, to the case mouth!!

They were worked up incrementally.
